This analysis offers a historical assessment of “economic statecraft” in Beijing's approach to Hong Kong from 1997 to 2020. It discusses how the concept of “economic statecraft” can be applied to Beijing–Hong Kong relations given the nature of the “one country, two systems” framework, and looks at some differing perceptions about economic statecraft in Hong Kong. It argues that, during this period, economic tools were in general used by Beijing relatively sparingly, and in the form of inducements rather than coercion. In conclusion, the analysis suggests that the contested interpretations of Beijing–Hong Kong economic relations demonstrate that “economic statecraft” is to a certain extent in the eye of the beholder.
这一分析对1997年至2020年北京对港政策中的“经济治国方略”进行了历史评估。它讨论了在“一国两制”框架的性质下,如何将“经济治国”的概念应用于北京与香港的关系,并探讨了对香港经济治国的一些不同看法。它认为,在这一时期,北京通常相对较少地使用经济工具,并且以引诱而不是胁迫的形式使用。总之,分析表明,对北京与香港经济关系有争议的解释表明,“经济治国方略”在一定程度上是见仁见智的。

From inside China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), two southern tier nations offer contrary perspectives as to the efficacy of Beijing’s economic statecraft, namely Indonesia and East Timor. While obviously asymmetric in practically every respect, nevertheless a careful study of these two nations’ bilateral links with China over long and short times offers salutary lessons on infrastructure financing in particular. Several interconnected inquiries are interposed. In a nation known for its competing political elites and support bases, how successful has China been in micro-managing its relations with Jakarta over trade and investment deals even carrying through to a post-authoritarian order? How has newly independent albeit aid-dependent Timor-Leste been able to parlay the China connection? Mixing documentary with primary research in situ, the inclusion of the East Timor case adds a missing link in the growing literature on the BRI.
从中国的“一带一路”倡议(BRI)内部来看,两个南方国家,即印度尼西亚和东帝汶,对北京经济治国方略的有效性提出了相反的看法。尽管在几乎所有方面都存在明显的不对称,但仔细研究这两个国家与中国长期和短期的双边关系,我们会得到有益的教训,尤其是在基础设施融资方面。几个相互关联的调查被介入。在一个以相互竞争的政治精英和支持基础而闻名的国家,中国在微观管理其与雅加达的贸易和投资关系方面,甚至在延续后威权主义秩序方面,取得了多大的成功?新近独立但依赖援助的东帝汶是如何利用与中国的联系的?将纪录片与实地研究相结合,将东帝汶案例纳入了越来越多关于“一带一路”的文献中,填补了缺失的一环。

In 2013, China's growing economic capacities motivated Beijing to launch a multilateral bank to advance its diplomatic agenda. Scholars are still debating precisely what Beijing seeks to accomplish through the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). This article surveys the key literature on the AIIB, identifying twenty scholarly interpretations of Beijing's strategic goals. The purpose of this research is to understand Beijing's initial design for this bank and evaluate whether this new multilateral development bank can function as an effective instrument for Beijing's economic statecraft. Over its first five years, as an economic tool for Beijing, the AIIB has performed quite remarkably well. The bank not only operates smoothly, generating a reasonable amount in net income for its shareholders, but also serves Beijing's strategic purposes in expanding China's regional influence, enhancing its international status, and ascending toward global leadership.
2013年,中国不断增长的经济能力促使北京方面启动了一家多边银行,以推进其外交议程。学者们仍在争论北京究竟想通过亚洲基础设施投资银行(AIIB)实现什么。本文综述了有关亚投行的主要文献,找出了对北京战略目标的20种学术解释。本研究的目的是了解北京对这家银行的最初设计,并评估这家新的多边开发银行是否可以作为北京经济治国方略的有效工具。在最初的五年里,作为北京方面的一个经济工具,亚投行表现得相当出色。亚投行不仅运营平稳,为股东创造了合理的净收入,而且还服务于北京扩大中国地区影响力、提高国际地位、迈向全球领导地位的战略目标。

The Arctic as a “Strategic” and “Important” Chinese Foreign Policy Interest: Exploring the Role of Labels and Hierarchies in China’s Arctic Discourses 北极作为中国外交政策的“战略性”和“重要”利益:探索标签和等级在中国北极话语中的作用
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-08-03 DOI: 10.1177/18681026211018699

Research confirms that China is becoming more engaged in the Arctic. However, international relations scholarship often extrapolates from relatively few instances of activity to wide-ranging claims about Chinese priorities. Fortunately, Chinese political discourse is organised by labels that allow us to study how the Arctic is classified and ranked along China’s other foreign policy priorities. This article analyses two such classifications – “important maritime interest” and “strategic new frontier,” exploring how they have come about, what they mean, and how they add political priority to the Arctic. It argues that hierarchies are constructed in two ways: by adding gradients and by including/excluding categories of priority. It views categories as performative: they not only convey information about character and relative importance of interests but are also used for achieving different objectives. By focusing on foreign policy classifications, the article contributes to a more nuanced and precise understanding of China’s Arctic interests.
研究证实,中国正越来越多地参与北极事务。然而,国际关系学者经常从相对较少的活动实例中推断出有关中国优先事项的广泛主张。幸运的是,中国的政治话语是按标签组织起来的,这使我们能够研究北极是如何被归类的,并与中国的其他外交政策重点相提并论。本文分析了两个这样的分类——“重要海洋利益”和“战略新边疆”,探讨了它们是如何产生的,它们的含义,以及它们如何为北极增加政治优先权。它认为层次结构以两种方式构建:通过添加梯度和包括/排除优先级类别。它认为分类具有表演性:它们不仅传达了关于性格和兴趣的相对重要性的信息,而且还用于实现不同的目标。通过关注外交政策分类,本文有助于更细致、更准确地理解中国的北极利益。

Tragic Stability and Elusive Selfhood: On the Drive for Self-Development in Contemporary China 悲剧的稳定与难以捉摸的自我:当代中国自我发展的动力

The requirement for “self-development” through the ceaseless acquisition of skills and credentials has long been central for young adults in China. However, due to the multiple and unpredictable demands of social institutions, many social actors also prime the cultivation of a self that does not succumb to immediate occupational and material impositions. In this article, I describe how young adults in a second-tier city pursue a model of personhood that brings together socio-economic competence and singular individuality. These individuals aspire to expand their range of experiences and their spatial mobility, thereby reifying an image of a self that transcends narrow social roles and networks. Drawing on Jean-Paul Sartre's dualistic philosophy, I analyse young adults’ attempts to realise individualised selves by destabilising their ontological ground. I argue that this phenomenon is magnified in China through widespread notions of a “moral crisis” and its supposable suppression of social actors’ agency.
长期以来,通过不断获取技能和证书来“自我发展”的要求一直是中国年轻人的核心。然而,由于社会制度的多重和不可预测的需求,许多社会行动者也开始培养一个不屈服于直接的职业和物质强加的自我。在这篇文章中,我描述了二线城市的年轻人如何追求一种将社会经济能力和独特个性结合在一起的人格模式。这些人渴望扩大他们的经验范围和空间流动性,从而具象化超越狭隘的社会角色和网络的自我形象。借鉴让-保罗·萨特的二元论哲学,我分析了年轻人通过动摇他们的本体论基础来实现个性化自我的尝试。我认为,由于“道德危机”的普遍观念及其对社会行动者能动性的压制,这种现象在中国被放大了。

China in Latin America Then and Now: A Systemic Constructivist Analysis of China’s Foreign Policy 中国在拉美的过去与现在:中国外交政策的系统建构主义分析
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-08-01 DOI: 10.1177/18681026211034880
Chien-Kai Chen
Examining China’s policy towards Latin America from 1949 to the present day, this article uncovers a puzzle about China in Latin America: while the guiding doctrine of China’s policy towards the region has never changed (i.e. “South–South Cooperation” on the basis of the “Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence”), there is a difference in terms of its policy goal between then and now (i.e. a very revisionist and politically focused goal until the late 1970s as compared to a less revisionist and economically focused one today). Based on the theory of systemic constructivism, this article demonstrates that the change of the interactions between China and other countries in our world (from isolation and confrontation to engagement and interdependence) has changed China’s perception about the nature of the international system, as well as its identity and interests in the system, which in turn has changed its policy goal towards Latin America and the “Global South” in general.
本文通过对1949年至今中国对拉美政策的考察,揭示了一个关于中国在拉美的困惑:虽然中国对该地区政策的指导原则从未改变(即在“和平共处五项原则”基础上的“南南合作”),但其政策目标在当时和现在之间存在差异(即,直到20世纪70年代末,中国的政策目标非常修正主义,政治重点突出,而今天的政策目标则不那么修正主义,经济重点突出)。基于系统建构主义理论,本文论证了中国与世界上其他国家互动的变化(从孤立和对抗到接触和相互依存)改变了中国对国际体系性质的看法,以及中国在该体系中的身份和利益,这反过来又改变了中国对拉美和“全球南方”的总体政策目标。

Towards Smarter and Fairer Justice? A Review of the Chinese Scholarship on Building Smart Courts and Automating Justice 走向更明智、更公平的司法?中国智能法院建设与司法自动化学术综述

This article reviews how Chinese scholars debate the policy of building smart courts in the context of judicial reform. This policy entails the automation and digitisation of judicial processes. It is part of broader judicial reforms that aim to create a more accurate and consistent judiciary. The article identifies four reform concepts that guide the debate: efficiency, consistency, transparency and supervision, and judicial fairness. This review is a meta-synthesis, using practices of narrative and systematic literature reviews, focusing on evaluating and interpreting the Chinese scholarship and reform concepts. It reviews how Chinese scholars discuss the implications of judicial automation and digitisation. Additionally, it analyses the normative concepts behind the reform goals within China’s political-legal context. The analysis finds that the generally positive evaluation in the debate can be explained by an instrumentalist understanding of the reform concepts and the political purpose of courts in the Chinese political-legal context.
本文回顾了中国学者在司法改革背景下对智慧法院建设政策的争论。这项政策要求司法程序实现自动化和数字化。这是更广泛的司法改革的一部分,旨在建立一个更准确、更一致的司法体系。文章指出了引导辩论的四个改革概念:效率、一致性、透明度和监督以及司法公正。本文采用叙事和系统文献综述的方法,对中国学术和改革理念进行了综合评价和解读。它回顾了中国学者如何讨论司法自动化和数字化的影响。此外,本文还分析了中国政法背景下改革目标背后的规范概念。分析发现,辩论中普遍存在的积极评价可以用对改革概念和法院在中国政法语境中的政治目的的工具主义理解来解释。

China’s Pledge to Civilise “All Under Heaven” 中国承诺“天下文明”
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-05-31 DOI: 10.1177/1868102621992775
Klaas Dykmann, O. Bruun
With China’s global rise, both its state leadership and key academics have engaged in developing a civilisational discourse for the twenty-first century partly based on ancient cosmological concepts. This article explores the meanings of and intentions behind this discourse, including its promise of a Chinese-led world order, and discusses its intended audience and international appeal. In the backdrop of theoretical debates on empires and their missions, the article claims that without a corresponding cultural appeal, China’s rising economic power and geostrategic clout are insufficient conditions to realise an empire in the classical sense. Growing inconsistencies mar the country’s imperial ambitions, such as those between a global civilising outreach and a toughening domestic embrace. Instead, imperial rhetoric is cautiously integrated in the party-state’s restoration of a Chinese “empire within,” indicating self-centredness and a lurking re-traditionalising of Chinese state power.
随着中国在全球的崛起,中国的国家领导人和主要学者都致力于为21世纪发展一种部分基于古代宇宙学概念的文明话语。本文探讨了这一话语背后的含义和意图,包括其对中国主导世界秩序的承诺,并讨论了其目标受众和国际吸引力。在关于帝国及其使命的理论争论的背景下,文章认为,如果没有相应的文化诉求,中国不断上升的经济实力和地缘战略影响力不足以实现经典意义上的帝国。越来越多的矛盾损害了这个国家的帝国野心,比如在全球文明推广和日益强硬的国内拥抱之间的矛盾。相反,帝国主义的修辞被谨慎地整合到党国对中国“内部帝国”的恢复中,这表明了中国国家权力的自我中心和潜伏的重新传统化。

Does Innovation Capacity Building Help Regional Development? Policy Expert Narrations on Development in China’s “West” 创新能力建设是否有利于区域发展?中国“西部”发展政策专家述评
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-05-06 DOI: 10.1177/1868102621997984
Anna-Barbara Heindl
To avoid the middle-income trap, China’s leaders call for innovation to accelerate development in China. However, since it is not clear how innovation and (regional) development reinforce each other, there is no blueprint strategy for successful innovation capacity building throughout China. Due to resource scarcity in its “Western” regions, it is thus far from certain that innovation capacity building will support regional development. Departing from sociology of knowledge, narrations are constitutive of policy practice. This article analyses narrative patterns of policy experts to understand how innovation capacity building and regional development are negotiated in China’s lagging “West.” The comparison of Yunnan and Chongqing cases demonstrates that innovation capacity building is primarily infused with theoretical expectations: resource scarcity does not allow for grounding innovation as a strategy of regional development in the local context. This leads to narrations of “local” alternatives to innovation capacity building in centralist China.
为了避免落入中等收入陷阱,中国领导人呼吁通过创新来加速中国的发展。然而,由于创新与(区域)发展之间的相互促进关系尚不清楚,因此中国尚无成功的创新能力建设蓝图战略。由于“西部”地区资源稀缺,创新能力建设对区域发展的支持还远未确定。从知识社会学出发,叙述是政策实践的构成要素。本文分析了政策专家的叙事模式,以了解中国落后的“西部”如何协商创新能力建设和区域发展。云南和重庆的案例对比表明,创新能力建设主要是理论性的,资源的稀缺性不允许创新作为区域发展战略在当地落地。这导致了对中央集权中国创新能力建设的“本地”替代方案的叙述。

This article analyses narrative patterns of policy experts to understand how innovation capacity building and regional development are negotiated in China’s lagging “West.” The comparison of Yunnan and Chongqing cases demonstrates that innovation capacity building is primarily infused with theoretical expectations: resource scarcity does not allow for grounding innovation as a strategy of regional development in the local context. This leads to narrations of “local” alternatives to innovation capacity building in centralist China.","PeriodicalId":37907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Chinese Affairs","volume":"79 1","pages":"137 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76685322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis discusses domestic sources of China’s diplomatic offensive in Europe following the outbreak of Covid-19, with a focus on the central and eastern parts of the continent. By examining selected case studies of countries competing for Chinese medical supplies in the time of the global crisis, it demonstrates how the party-state leadership with “Xi Jinping at the core” has been promoting the narrative of its transparent and timely response to the outbreak of the pandemic, while at the same time nurturing its image as a (benevolent) global leader in the struggle against the coronavirus. The article argues that mask diplomacy has served two overlapping domestic and foreign policy goals: aiming to cover up China’s leadership’s failure to contain the pandemic in its initial stage, while also turning acts of foreign gratitude to its advantage in seeking domestic public approval and the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party governance.
该分析讨论了新冠肺炎疫情爆发后中国在欧洲外交攻势的国内来源,重点是欧洲大陆的中部和东部地区。
